Would you really fold 88?

with a short stack in the BB, I would probably open fold (or maybe raise fold) and open fold a lot better at this stage.
I wouldn"t describe myself as an expert satty player but as the big stack if 5 with 3 seats, you have to view your position as "seat locked up" so therefore you can"t improve, you can only do worse. For this reason its probably correct to fold every hand (inc KK and AA)

O.P.R. Rankings
Ok, back to my OPR stats which you were all keen to comment on ::)
I have broken down my results into seperate years to compare the ITM% and ROI% for each year:
2009: ITM 19% ROI -16% (my best year for ITM but made no profit. Is this due to bad BR management?)
2010: ITM 11% ROI -18% (pretty similar to 2009, I guess both these years can be classed as "Year of the Fish")
2011: ITM 9% ROI -2% (my worst ITM% but only a small loss made... Surely this means the BRM is under control)
2012: ITM 11% ROI 6% (looks like 2012 might be my year!)
Last 120 days: ITM 13% ROI 10% 8)
Is there anything I"m not considering that I should?

Stack sizes would help but it seems a great spot for you to bubble abuse the hell outta the other 4 players. No need to 3x raise though, I"d likely open min raise a wide range and expect to take down lots of pots preflop. The key to this strategy is to bet small and often but fold to a reraise with all but the strongest of hands.

I managed to build my stack through agressive play, making 2x raises. It got to the point where my min-raises were getting called, I started to increase my raises to make calling a harder decision for them, and it was working!
Are you disagreeing with Rob"s strategy? (I"m not trying to start a fight! Lol)

I did try this once before at this stage but got caught out by losing too many blinds/antes, thus becoming an average stack and forced to play hands! I think it was just unfortunate that the short stack kept doubling up and no-one went out.
Swinebag:
Don"t think we disagree. I didn"t know the stack sizes. If you have a huge chip advantage then Brendans strat is partly correct. The trouble is, if you keep on raise folding then the table are going to pick up on this and your raises become pointless as villains know you aren"t going to stack off
If doubling up a short stack puts you back in midfield, then folding your entire range works too.
